Yes, but I just tried an ARM-backend-only configuration (r243957, prior to your changes) running on X86, default triple "armv7a--linux" and running 'ninja check' yielded NO failures.  So I think your issues have more to do with GPU backends not being general-purpose, rather than the host-arch not being one of the available targets.  You have applied too big a hammer to the problem, and turned off testing configurations that are actually valuable.

I think Takumi is correct, this needs to be discussed on the dev list.  I am unlikely to have time to write up a proper description today so if you want to, go ahead; if you don't I will probably get to it tomorrow.
